Becoming God of a Dystopian World

Si Chen and Rose stared at Zhao Luo. They waited for Zhao Luo to complete his answer. 

'He may say it now, that what he told us was a joke.'

Rose thought after hearing the ridiculous answer of Zhao Luo.

She knew that there was no other way around to survive without climbing the entry mountain.

It was known throughout the four zones that the command of the 'Voice' was absolute.

As before their World was merged with this new one, they had gone through something similar, but a very long time ago. 

This was known as the 'Command Of the Voice' and whenever it is heard by the people of a World, it just indicates that a hellish trial will start.

All of this knowledge about the Voice and the Commands which it has previously given to different people has been recorded over time and was stored in the sect of every range throughout the four zones.

But now, in front of Rose, there was someone here who claimed that he survived by sleeping through the hard trial of climbing the stairs of the entry mountain.

He even passed it as he heard the voice congratulating him too.

Si Chen wasn't any different than Rose. He was also speculating on Zhao Luo's answer.

'Impossible, he must be lying.'

They were thinking when both Si Chen and Rose looked at each other. It was as if they both had the same idea.

"Mister, can you go away for a moment?"

Rose asked Zhao Luo.

Zhao Luo felt a little hurt.

'First, this beauty was staring at me with her 'brother' and now she is asking me to go away. At least she should tell me the reason.'

Zhao Luo thought.

"Why do you want me to go away?"

He asked for the reason from Rose.

Instead of getting a reply from Rose, Si Chen interrupted them.

"Listen just do as she says, we will tell you later about the reason."

Si Chen looked at Zhao Luo angrily. He was tired of answering this guy's question.

'Overall if what I think is correct then we will have to deal with this weirdo. Hehe. That would be even better.'

Si Chen thought while peeking at Rose.

Zhao Luo was looking at Si Chen and thought about how weird this Si Chen was. First, he was pointing a sword at him but then he was nice enough to give him a robe. And now he was yelling at him because Zhao Luo asked for the reason from his 'sister'.

"Interesting, I will go away but don't forget to call me back."

Zhao Luo said to them. He wasn't angry at all.

Instead, he was interested in this weird character named Si Chen.

He had heard of siscon before but this was the first time he was seeing it 'live'.

Zhao Luo glanced towards Rose before turning around to go towards the tree. Since the moment he had come out of the hole, the tree had caught his sight. 

Zhao Luo was looking at the shine coming from the tree and said, 

"What an amazing sight."

While Zhao Luo was praising the tree, Si Chen was whispering something to Rose.

"This guy may be from the Qi or Shen mountain range."

The two names that were spoken by Si Chen just now were the names of the other two ranges surrounding the Sara Desert.

The Qi Mountain range was ruled by the Qi Sect and the Shen Mountain Range was ruled by the Shen Sect. 

The three sects, Xin, Qi, and Shen Sect were enemies. There had been fights between the sects before too. So Si Chen thought that Zhao Luo was from one of the other two sects. 

"He may be acting to fool us just to stab us later."

Si Chen gave another point of his thought about Zhao Luos' identity to Rose.

Rose was also pondering as she had the same idea as Si Chen but Zhao Luo also showed some similarities to the people of the other World.

As he reacted to her when she had said 'anime' but as she thought for longer, her mindset kept on changing.

'This isn't a valid reason as the people of the other World may have climbed the entry mountains of the other two ranges too and maybe some of them knew about anime too and that's how this guy also knew about the word.

Rose shook her head. She remembered the words of the housemaid.

"Young miss, you will not hear about 'anime' from others of my World as after our World was semi-destroyed in the World War the knowledge of these treasures was lost." The housemaid sounded sad. But then she spoke again.

"But thanks to my Otaku grandparents who had passed this treasure to my parents and from them, it was passed to me."

The housemaid had told Rose a sad story.

So after clearly thinking of all the 'if' and the facts she knew she made a decision.

"We should let this man come with us and if he is from one of the other two sects then he would surely try to run away or attack us. We can just subdue him then."

Rose shared her decision with Si Chen. 

Si Chen also agreed with Rose.

Zhao Luo who was still inspecting the tree heard Si Chen calling him.

"Hey, hey, come back."

Zhao Luo walked towards them.

It had already been a few hours since Si Chen and Rose had come to the giant tree after hearing Zhao Luos' roar.

It was already night time and even though the sunlight couldn't pass because of the thick trees, the moonlight had no problem falling on the ground.

It was as if the trees had opened up a path for the moon to shine on Zhao Luo.

The handsome Zhao Luo with long gray hair had a lustrous shine on them. The golden shine of the tree highlighting the background of Zhao Luo and the moon making a carpet of light for Zhao Luo to walk on baffled the Xin sects duo.

The whole nature was acting for this guy.

"Have you both decided to take me along?"

Zhao Luo asked as if he knew the point of their conversation.

They were further shocked. 

'Hmm'

Rose thought as her whole focus was on Zhao Luo.

'He gives off a similar feeling to that of the Sect Leader.'

She thought of a bearded old man who gave off a similar aura that was radiating from Zhao Luo now.

Zhao Luo stopped in front of them as asked again.

"Shall we Go?"

Zhao Luo smiled.

He just wanted to see the World. He already knew that he had missed a lot of time while he was trapped in the capsule.

Si Chen looked at Zhao Luo and then looked at Rose as if she would be the decision-maker.

As for Rose, she was interested in Zhao Luo.

'No romantic feelings at all.'

Rose thought. 

"Let's go before the night gets too dark."

As she said that she moved towards the exit of the Dread Forest.

Zhao Luo and Si Chen followed her.

She was running at a fairly fast pace. 

Rose kept on looking back to see if Zhao Luo was still keeping up with them but to her surprise, he hadn't even shed a sweat till now.

Zhao Luo noticed her gaze and said to her.

"I know it's a little late now but better late than never. I am Zhao Luo. Thank you for letting me accompany you both."

Zhao Luo introduced himself. He also thanked them for taking him along. Without them, he would still be the Dread Forest.

Zhao Luo also noticed that he could talk while running this fast.

Before he was trapped in the capsule, whenever he ran like this his lungs were never able to keep up with his speed so instead of talking he couldn't even breathe before.

This wasn't even his limit. Zhao Luo was only keeping up with them. He knew that if he tried he could run three times faster than their current speed easily. 

After Zhao Luo introduced himself, Si Chen also introduced himself.

"I am Si Chen, from one of the top martial arts clans of the Xin Mountain Range."

Then he looked at Rose thinking about something.

It was her turn to introduce herself but would she tell Zhao Luo her real name or will she go with Rose.

Si Chen was nervously waiting.

Just then the veil of Rose moved slightly indicating that she was going to talk.

"I am Mo Anna."

Rose introduced herself with her real name.

"What a beautiful name."

Zhao Luo instinctively commented causing Rose to blush again. 

'Just like her name, she is elegant, graceful, and quiet.'

Zhao Luo thought.

Si Chen was shocked. He knew that she was the youngest daughter of the Mo family but he didn't know that she was from the direct line of the Mo clan. He regretted hitting on her.

"Just call me Rose. That will be more comfortable."

Rose didn't want Zhao Luo to be inconvenienced by others because he called her name once they reach the sect.

"As you wish, Rose."

Zhao Luo smiled while telling her.

The three were conversing while running out of the forest and they had already passed the forest and entered the desert.

The night had just begun and thus the dangers of the night in the Sara desert would reveal themselves to the trio of Zhao Luo, Rose, and Si Chen.
